Addictn and pulsive e of social works posively rrelate wh the nstct of narcissism (Andreassen et al., 2017), other studi already monstrated how Facebook, Instagram, and other social works uld serve as ial social arenas for people who appreciate and are attracted to ego-strengtheng activi (Ryan & Xenos, 2011; Wang et al., 2012), as they allow people to strengthen their ego on immediate feedback om a potentially large amount of other dividuals (Andreassen, 2015) for gay men, some studi fd higher levels of narcissism for men who intify as gay than for those who intify as heterosexual (Drcher, 2021; Rubste 2010).

This uld be attributed to var factors, such as a rponse to the opprsive homophobic power of heterosexual society or due to the high visual standards wh the gay muny that force gay men to take great re of their appearance (Drcher, 2010).

The fact that this “straight actg” mak them more attractive the ey of potential partners may promote gay men’s ntued performance of hegemonic masculy, addn to the fact that adherg to the nons of hegemonic masculy mak gay men more accepted by both other gay men and heterosexual men (Connell & Mserschmidt, 2005; Eguchi, 2009; Moskowz et al., 2009). Common elements between dividuals who intify themselv as gay and people addicted to social works are the high psychologil vtment their physil appearance and the nstant parison between their own body image and others’ (Wood, 2004) purpose of the followg study is to asss the differenc between gay and heterosexual men regardg social workg addictn and social work e, grandse and vulnerable narcissism, FOMO, and vtment one’s physil appearance.

The social works nsired this rearch were Facebook and Instagram that are the two most ed social works Italy (“Italy: Ma social works ers 2021”, 2021) participants are 586 Italian men, 334 exclively gay men (GM) and 252 exclively heterosexual men (HM).

DiscsnThe aim of the prent study was to asss the differenc between gay and heterosexual men regardg social workg addictn and social work e, grandse and vulnerable narcissism, FOMO, and vtment one’s physil appearance. They allow you to post ntent on your profile, both photographic and textual, for a limed (the stori are visible for 24 h om publitn) or unlimed perd of time and are accsible to all, not beg specific for certa rults of this study show that men who intify as gay may be more at risk for social media addictn and specific behavrs adopted on social works, spendg more time on social media, postg more ntent, and seekg personal gratifitn by postg photos that may also be sexually provotive, receivg lik, and growg their followg, wh the possibily of gettg more followers than followe.

The fdgs may be applible Italy, where levels of homophobia have historilly been particularly high (Lgiardi et al., 2005; Prati et al., 2011) due to wispread relig iology, polil nservatism, and tradnal beliefs about genr rol. This happens bee the patriarchal and sexist Italian society nnot accept that men who fe themselv as gay n have effemate tras, as this is ntrary to the domant mol of masculy (Callahan & Losc, 2021; Donà, 2021).

In addn, the strong Christian valu rooted Italian fai lead them to perceive homosexualy as an unnatural phenomenon, ntrary to the dive sign of a fay posed of a man and a woman, hrg the acceptance of homosexuals and all other people who belong to the LGBTQIA + muny (Donà, 2021). The climate of patriarchal and sexist societi leads men who fe themselv as gay to try to adhere as closely as possible to the typil norms of hegemonic masculy, performg “straight actg” so that they n be more easily accepted socially (Callahan & Losc, 2021; Connell & Mserschmidt, 2005) rults show that there are other signifint differenc between the two groups too. This is le wh other studi that had found that people who intified themselv as gay reported higher levels of self-importance, pared to people who intified themselv as heterosexuals, and this might happen rponse to the homophobic both opprsive power and norms of society (Drcher, 2010; Rubste, 2010) FOMO variable also shows signifint differenc between the two groups, wh higher valu for gay men, who appear to be more aaid of feelg exclud, wantg to get touch wh others also on a virtual level.

The GM and HM groups also prent signifint differenc regardg their body image: men who intify as gay tend to vt a lot their own image, go to the gym, and make parisons wh others, much more than heterosexuals do. The rults are nsistent wh prev studi, showg that men who intify themselv as gay tend to have a high psychologil vtment their physil appearance and to nstantly pare their body image to the others’ (Wood, 2004). This uld be due to the very high bety standards wh the gay muny, which lead the gay man to take re of his appearance to the extent that creas self-importance (Drcher, 2010).

The mands and visual standards wh the gay muny may force men who intify themselv as gay to take re of their appearance to such an extent that they crease, nourish, and even duce self-importance, nsirg an adaptive rather than a pathologil behavr, sce helps them survive that muny and fd a sexual life partner (Drcher, 2010).
